They first appeared over a hundred years ago, giant humanoid creatures with a taste for human blood. The brute strength of these creatures trumped an average persons many times over, and they were shoved to the brink of extinction almost overnight. The survivors created walls Maria, Rose and Sina, withdrawing behind them in fright for what was over a century of horror, and uneasy peace.
Melody is a creature called a ghoul. Ghouls are creatures who feed off of human flesh, have healing abilities and have advanced senses. They have an extension of their body called a Kagune, that looks different for every ghoul. While activating their Kagune, they also activate their Kakugan, which makes their sclera black and veiny, and makes their iris turn red.
Melody's mom is a ghoul, and her father is a human. The chances of a human and a ghouls baby together surviving birth, is an almost impossible turn of events. Some say it was fate that she lived. If they do survive birth, they will most likely be born as a one eyed ghoul, which is what Melody is. For some reason, she can eat human food as well as human flesh, which makes her have a little bit more of an easy life than the rest of her family. I mean, she can eat normal human food, but after a while, she still needs to eat human flesh. Normal human food won't satisfy her needs forever.
Melody lives with her parents, her aunt and her uncle. They were the only family she had left. She couldn't have asked for a better family. They had lived outside the walls for a while. They didn't even know there were walls to begin with! When they found out about the walls, they moved there to have a better shelter and more food. Melody also met some friends there. They moved to Shiganshina. It was hard living in a more cluttered area, having to hide our secrets from everyone. Lying constantly. Im sure eventually you get used to it, I guess.

Present time
Melody's POV
**********************"Sweetheart, wake up! It's time for breakfast" I heard my mom calling from afar. I don't want to get up. I had a dream. A weird dream, where I was sitting down on a bench, drawing in my favorite sketchbook. I was drawing a picture of a woman who had brown hair and glasses. I've never seen that woman before, who was she?
I get out of bed, walking to the kitchen to eat breakfast with my family. My aunt and uncle were arguing, like usual.
"It's Grisha, not "Greesha"! It's not that hard to get his name right!" My aunt argues slapping his arm. "Ouch! Look Adella, it's not a big deal how you pronounce his name, okay?" My uncle says trying to calm her down. "Just admit it Patrick! It's pronounced Grisha and you know it!" She says giving another quick slap to his arm. I chuckle at seeing them arguing about dumb things. My aunt turns to me and her angry expression turns to a happy face instantly. "Oh my baby!" She says running up to me and hugging me tightly. After chatting for a bit, we sit down to eat and have a nice breakfast.
Usually I would hang out with Armin on a beautiful day like this, but my parents wanted to pick berries together. We soon walk out, and make our way to pick our berries on this lovely day. We all hold hands and I skip around happily. "What are you so happy about?" My father says while chuckling. "Im excited to eat the yummy berries!" I say with a big smile. They both laugh and have a nice innocent smile on their faces.
We finish picking our berries, and make our way back home. It was a long walk, including the food stands we stopped at, and friends of my parents they chatted with for a while. We were close to home, and I suddenly felt an uneasy feeling. Something wasn't right. I can sometimes tell when something bad will happen, I just get a bad feeling in my stomach.A loud bang could be heard. People were in a big group closer to the wall, and looking up at it. What is that? A huge skinless looking hand? There was panic around us. Screams and people questioning what that huge hand was. It gripped the wall tightly, and out of nowhere, a huge head popped over the wall. My mother's grip on my hand got tighter, and my dad started backing up a bit. What is that? What is happening? Why now?
And in a split second, big rocks and boulders came flying from the wall. It kicked the whole wall. A titan? Here? How? The walls are supposed to protect us, I don't understand.My mom's face was the palest face I have ever seen. She looked terrified. "Come on, we have to run!" My dad said while we turned around and started running away, hoping we will find safety. Hoping.
Only after a few seconds, my dad turned around and saw a huge boulder flying right at us. But why? Why us? My dad let go of my hand, and so did my mother. My dad quickly pushed me as hard as he could, to save me. "Run Melody, run!" I heard him scream. I saw my mother mouthing 'I love you' with teary eyes. And in a split second, boom. It had landed, directly on them. I cried. More than I had ever cried before. I didn't know what to do. But, I passed out.
"You're not a monster Melody. You just need to work on yourself, and control yourself."
"Yeah, you're right. Thanks Armin."
*********************
"Melody, Melody! Wake up!" A high pitched voice said right next to my ear, shaking me violently. Stop. Leave me alone. Just leave me the hell alone.
I open my eyes, and see a crying Armin screaming in my face. "Melody! Finally you're awake! Come on, we need to go!" He says with a shaky voice. "Huh? But mom, and dad are there." I say pointing at the boulder. "Come on, we need to go, please!" He says after looking at the rock, but still ignoring my comment. He helped me up, grabbed my hand and started running with me. He kept looking behind him making sure I was okay, but had a very scared face everytime he looked. I mean, there was a huge titan about to kill us, but it's not that. He would look at me in fear. Like I was some sort of monster. We got to the boats, and he finally looked at me a little more normal now. What changed? What did I do? We got in the boats as soon as we could, and I felt a little safer. But my parents, I still don't understand. Are they gone? Forever? I hear Armin's voice again, cutting me out of my trance."Hey, i'm sorry about your parents." He says gently, giving me a hug. Huh, so they are dead. A tear left my eye. I hugged him back, and starting crying. He rubbed my back, and I actually heard a few sniffles from him too. He's so caring. He's the bestest friend I could ever ask for. I saw Eren and Mikasa, some more of my friends. But they didn't seem theirselves. Especially Eren. I wonder what happened? Did the same thing happened to them? Did their parents die right in front of them too?
I hear a familiar voice on the boats, while we were leaving to go to Wall Rose. "Melody, where are you? Melody?!" I could hear multiple times. I also heard my parents names being called. I see two familiar faces turn around the corner in a panicked state, and they looked at me with wide eyes. "Oh my god! My baby, you're alive!" I hear aunt Adele shouting, while running towards me with tears. Uncle Patrick comes running towards me too, while saying "My Peanut! You're okay!". His nickname for me has always been Peanut. They hugged me while crying tears of relief, and gave me a ton of kisses. I was so happy, that I had some family left. "My baby, where is mama and papa?" My aunt asked me gently while rubbing my head a bit in a comforting way. I hesitate, but say teary eyed, "They're dead." I say, still being in shock of it all. They cried so much, I felt bad. It wasn't my fault, but I felt guilty. But, it was the titan's fault. Someday, im gonna make him pay for what he did.
I swear.
